Em
Tread on my face if you like little lady.
A7
Turn me inside out if you have to baby.
C#m                              A7
But don't you cross me off your list.
C#m                          A7
Ooh, I am young and I ain't never been kissed.
C7                 D                   E7
Never been kissed  -  by a lady called Amy

You're far out, you're fab and insane
A woman of the world, it's quite plain
My dad told me Amy's your name
Said he'd break my neck if I played your game
But he can bust my head 'cause I, I love you all the same

Chorus:
C7
Amy, I know you don't have to show your affection -
           Em
Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection.
Gm                        A7                             C7
So if you don't want me around I think I'll run along & drown
                            D  B7  Em
You can't want this bum in town,  Amy. - x2

I'm beaten on the streets because I loves you
I watch you go to work in the summer
I don't whistle at you down the street
I would if I could but I can't whistle, you see

C7                        D
Amy, I may not be James Dean.
                        C7
Amy, I may not be nineteen
                       D
And I may still be in romper boots & jeans.
    C7      D7                                  Em
But ooh Amy - you're the girl that wrecks my dreams. - x2
